I don't know why people are downvoting you. I can tell you that I've seen the same thing and having dealt with the fallout of bad hiring, I'd rather miss some good or even great candidates rather than hire someone bad. Edi: To clarify: I work at Google.
- roc 17y agoYou always run the risk of hiring someone bad. Interviewing, particularly rigorous interviewing, is a game that doesn't map very well onto work itself. That's why the true test of a hiring process is the firing process. If you can get rid of people that can't hack it, rather than letting them gather as detritus in your system, you'll be far better off than if you simply pretend that you can actually avoid mistakes.
- cdibona 17y agoI couldn't agree with you more.
- tedunangst 17y agoHiring two people so you can fire one is a lot more expensive than interviewing 10 to start.
- Dilpil 17y agoBut what are the relative probabilities that each method will result in exactly one good employee?
